| Brown sugar | 1/2 cup |
| Flour | 2 cups |
| Butter (softened) | 2 tbsp |
| Milk | 1 cup |
| Almond extract | 1/8 tsp |
| Butter (melted) | 2 tbsp |
| Powdered sugar | 1 cup |
| Almonds (chopped) | 1/4 cup |
| Crescent dough | 1 can (8 oz) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Heat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
-
Prepare filling: In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, softened butter, milk, and 1/8 teaspoon of almond extract. Blend the ingredients until well incorporated, creating a smooth filling mixture.
-
Fill muffin cups: Spoon the prepared filling into 12 ungreased muffin cups, ensuring an even distribution.
-
Prepare dough: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 4 rectangles.
-
Prepare almond topping: In another bowl, combine melted butter with another 1/8 teaspoon of almond extract. Brush this mixture onto each rectangle of dough, then sprinkle evenly with chopped almonds.
-
Roll up dough: Starting from the short side of each rectangle, roll up the dough tightly, similar to rolling a jelly roll.
-
Cut and arrange: Cut each rolled-up dough into 3 equal pieces. Place each piece cut side down into the prepared muffin cups, gently pressing them into the filling.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sticky buns turn a beautiful golden brown.
-
Invert and serve: Once baked, immediately invert the muffin tin onto a serving platter to release the sticky buns, allowing the gooey caramelized filling to cascade over the tops.
-
Prepare glaze: While the sticky buns are baking, prepare the glaze by combining powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
-
Drizzle glaze: Once the sticky buns are out of the oven and still warm, drizzle the prepared glaze over the top, adding an extra layer of sweetness and flavor.
-
Serve and enjoy: Serve these Easy Almond Sticky Buns warm, allowing your family and friends to savor the irresistible combination of flavors and textures.
